Subject: Perils of Google Translate, Part II

Some of you may remember a menu I posted a few years ago that had been
created with google translate.  The following link is somehow wierder, with
a hotel wanting to label a dish "Meat Balls", so it writes ميت بول in
Arabic, but then above it in English writes what that obviously means: Paul
is Dead.  If you don't believe me, check out this link.
